Janakpur was a centre of the deadly 2015 protests, which claimed more than 50 lives.

Ties deteriorated after protesters on the India-Nepal border blockaded the movement of goods vehicles-slowing or stopping critical fuel and medical supplies-amid suspicions in Nepal that New Delhi was backing the blockade. "We have been there for each other in the most hard of times", the PM said, stressing Nepal's top position in India's "Neighbourhood First" policy. "We are committed to support Prime Minister Oli's vision that Nepal should not be a land-locked country but a land- and water-linked nation", he said. Nepal had recently granted the license to generate power to an Indian government-owned company.

Both sides also agreed to dispatch a joint technical team to resolve the recurrent inundation problem along the Nepal-India border.

China, on the other hand, is pouring aid and investment into Nepali hospitals, roads and hydroelectric plants.

Modi also announced Rs 1 billion for the development of Province No 2 and Janakpur area after attending the civic reception. Analysts say the strong religious overtones are meant to send a message to his Hindu nationalist base at home, where Modi is fighting a key election in the southern state of Karnataka.

He began his speech in the Maithali language, followed by Bhojpuri and Nepali.

India had asked Nepal to investigate the explosion that caused minor damaged to the office. "Our "Dhaam" is incomplete and Ram is also incomplete".
